Sobre este artículo

London: J. M. Dent & Co., 1902. Very Good condition. Slight bend to one corner on rear board. No owner's name or bookplate. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Clean, square, tight, and unmarked. Top edge gilt. With 31 full-page plates and a large fold-out map (31cm by 31cm) of the streets and attractions/monuments of Cairo. Tissue-guarded frontispiece. From the Preface: "The illustrations have been chosen with a view to showing the mediaeval city as far as possible before it suffered its European change." A history that traces the growth of Cairo. The author says his aim "is to clothe the vestiges of the mediaeval city with the associations that lend them their deepest interest... Many of the buildings of Cairo, especially the later mosques... ruined courts, crumbling streets, mere fragments of walls or inscriptions... I have tried to surround the remains... with the atmosphere of their historic associations." Two appendices: 1) Rulers and Monuments of Cairo; 2) Table for Converting Hijra Years into Anni Domini. Index. A volume in the Mediaeval Towns Series. The author was Professor of Arabic at Trinity College, Dublin. . First Edition. Hardcover. Gray cloth, gilt-decorated. 12mo. xx, 340pp.

Sobre About Books

About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
